We're depleting many of our land-based stores of minerals, and remote though it is, the bottom of the ocean is a likelier source of precious minerals than asteroids. It is strewn with deposits rich in gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and other resources that supply our electronics, green technology, and other vital tools like medical imaging machines. Since no one has tried mining the seafloor yet, much remains uncertain about how it will work — or how much it will disturb the creatures that make their homes at the bottom of the ocean.

Conventional Naval mine hunting consists of two phases. MIne-LIke COntacts (MILCOs) are detected and localized, then sorted into two categories, non-mines and mines, before proceeding their disposal. Depending on this, decision is made as to whether or not clear the mines. Thus, the need for an efficient identification platform.
To break from conventional mine hunting practices, ECAGroup’s Unmanned MIne-countermeasures System UMIS, was successfully tested at sea, with its identification platform SeaScan which consists of a multi-shot identification ROV with sonar/optical sensors. UMIS system uses SEASCAN ROV for identification and the K-STER C mine disposal system for neutralization and can be used collaboratively with the embedded Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on its Autonomous underwater vehicles, to reduce the MCM Missions duration.
Seascan is a ROV dedicated to inspection missions. Its unique architecture ensures hovering capability and stability in turbulent water. Easy to deploy from any kind of platform, the user friendly command and control software offers auto piloting functions to improve mission efficiency. It is battery operated with 3h endurance, can operate up to 300m and in up to 3 knot currents without the limitations of traditional ROVs with an umbilical. The system features automated launch, recovery and recharging from an USV. Acting as a communication gateway with AUVs, The USV also, allows data to be ex-filtrated and relayed to a remote Command and ControlCenter at safe standoff range. This data is analyzed and the list of MILCOs is produced, which is then used to plan the SeaScan missions.

Deep sea mining

Deep sea mining is a relatively new mineral retrieval process that takes place on the ocean floor. Ocean mining sites are usually around large areas of polymetallic nodules or active and extinct hydrothermal vents at about 1,400 – 3,700 m below the ocean’s surface. The vents create sulfide deposits, which contain valuable metals such as silver, gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and zinc. The deposits are mined using either hydraulic pumps or bucket systems that take ore to the surface to be processed. As with all mining operations, deep sea mining raises questions about potential environmental impact on surrounding areas. Environmental advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the Deep sea Mining Campaign have argued that seabed mining should not be permitted in most of the world's oceans because of the potential for damage to deepsea ecosystems and pollution by heavy metal laden plumes.

Brief history

In the mid 1960s the prospect of deep-sea mining was brought up by the publication of J. L. Mero's Mineral Resources of the Sea. The book claimed that nearly limitless supplies of cobalt, nickel and other
metals could be found throughout the planet's oceans. Mero stated that these metals occurred in deposits of manganese nodules, which appear as lumps of compressed sediment on the sea floor at
depths of about 5,000 m. Some nations including France, Germany and the United States sent out research vessels in search of nodule deposits. Initial estimates of deep sea mining viability turned out to be much exaggerated. This overestimate, coupled with depressed metal prices, led to the near abandonment of nodule mining by 1982. From the 1960s to 1984 an estimated US $650 million had
been spent on the venture, with little to no return.

Nautilus Minerals

Nautilus Minerals Inc. (TSX:NUS, OTCQX:NUSMF) is an underwater mineral exploration company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. It is the first company to commercially explore the seafloor for massive sulfide systems, a potential source of high grade copper, gold, zinc and silver.
As of October 2010, Nautilus planned to commence production utilizing a newly constructed mining ship in the territorial waters of Papua New Guinea.

The company's Solwara 1 Project is located at 1600 metres water depth in the Bismarck Sea, New Ireland Province. It will be the world’s first deep-sea mining project. The deposit is a high grade copper-gold resource and the world's first seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) resource. The company plans to grow its tenement holdings in the exclusive economic zones and territorial waters of Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Zealand as well as other areas outside the Western Pacific.

At Risk

At Risk is a 1994 film about a woman named Lara, after spending a year in Mexico unsuccessfully trying to save her marriage to Steven, returns to the U.S. to find Max, her lover in this AIDS cautionary tale.

The product, re-released as Google Earth in 2005, is available for use on personal computers running Windows 2000 and above, Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above, Linux kernel: 2.6 or later (released on June 12, 2006), and FreeBSD. Google Earth is also available as a browserplugin which was released on May 28, 2008. It was also made available for mobile viewers on the iPhone OS on October 28, 2008, as a free download from the App Store, and is available to Android users as a free app in the Google Play store. In addition to releasing an updated Keyhole based client, Google also added the imagery from the Earth database to their web-based mapping software, Google Maps. The release of Google Earth in June 2005 to the public caused a more than tenfold increase in media coverage on virtual globes between 2004 and 2005, driving public interest in geospatial technologies and applications.
As of October 2011, Google Earth has been downloaded more than a billion times.

Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe

Russia is expanding its use of undersea warfare as part of a broader strategy of coercion aimed at its neighbors and the United States. Suspected territorial incursions in the Baltic Sea and provocative patrols in the North Atlantic have not only caused alarm among NATO and partner nations, but have underscored the extent to which U.S. and European anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities have atrophied since the end of the Cold War.
Please join the International SecurityProgram for the launch of Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe, a new report that examines Russian intentions and capabilities, assesses the current ability of NATO and partner nations to meet the Russian challenge in the undersea domain, and provides some recommendations as to how NATO and partner nations can better address resurgent Russian undersea activity moving forward. This event will include a presentation of the reports key findings and recommendations to be followed by a discussion of these issues with a panel of experts.

We're depleting many of our land-based stores of minerals, and remote though it is, the bottom of the ocean is a likelier source of precious minerals than asteroids. It is strewn with deposits rich in gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and other resources that supply our electronics, green technology, and other vital tools like medical imaging machines. Since no one has tried mining the seafloor yet, much remains uncertain about how it will work — or how much it will disturb the creatures that make their homes at the bottom of the ocean.

Conventional Naval mine hunting consists of two phases. MIne-LIke COntacts (MILCOs) are detected and localized, then sorted into two categories, non-mines and mines, before proceeding their disposal. Depending on this, decision is made as to whether or not clear the mines. Thus, the need for an efficient identification platform.
To break from conventional mine hunting practices, ECAGroup’s Unmanned MIne-countermeasures System UMIS, was successfully tested at sea, with its identification platform SeaScan which consists of a multi-shot identification ROV with sonar/optical sensors. UMIS system uses SEASCAN ROV for identification and the K-STER C mine disposal system for neutralization and can be used collaboratively with the embedded Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on its Autonomous underwater vehicles, to reduce the MCM Missions duration.
Seascan is a ROV dedicated to inspection missions. Its unique architecture ensures hovering capability and stability in turbulent water. Easy to deploy from any kind of platform, the user friendly command and control software offers auto piloting functions to improve mission efficiency. It is battery operated with 3h endurance, can operate up to 300m and in up to 3 knot currents without the limitations of traditional ROVs with an umbilical. The system features automated launch, recovery and recharging from an USV. Acting as a communication gateway with AUVs, The USV also, allows data to be ex-filtrated and relayed to a remote Command and ControlCenter at safe standoff range. This data is analyzed and the list of MILCOs is produced, which is then used to plan the SeaScan missions.

Russia is expanding its use of undersea warfare as part of a broader strategy of coercion aimed at its neighbors and the United States. Suspected territorial incursions in the Baltic Sea and provocative patrols in the North Atlantic have not only caused alarm among NATO and partner nations, but have underscored the extent to which U.S. and European anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities have atrophied since the end of the Cold War.
Please join the International SecurityProgram for the launch of Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe, a new report that examines Russian intentions and capabilities, assesses the current ability of NATO and partner nations to meet the Russian challenge in the undersea domain, and provides some recommendations as to how NATO and partner nations can better address resurgent Russian undersea activity moving forward. This event will include a presentation of the reports key findings and recommendations to be followed by a discussion of these issues with a panel of experts.

To be sure, Nautilus Minerals (TSX:NUS) is one of the more interesting mining companies out there. It's project, Solwara 1, lies on the sea floor near Papua New Guinea, where the company is hoping to mine high grade copper and gold deposits.
To find out a bit more about underwater mining, Resource Investing News had a chat with Mike Johnston, CEO of Nautilus, at the 2015PDAC conference in Toronto. In the interview below, Johnston discusses what makes Solwara 1 so high grade, and speaks to questions about the environmental impacts of underwater mining.
He also speaks about New Zealand's recent rejection of underwater mining projects, and about Nautilus's partnership with the Papua New Guinean government. Overall, it was interesting to get some insight into the world of underwater mining and how Nautilus intends for its project to work.

Europe is currently discussing the fate of the deep ocean in the North EastAtlantic. The European Commission has proposed to ban what scientists describe as the most destructive fishing gear in history, deep-sea bottom trawling, a heavily subsidized, fuel-intensive fishing method that destroys fragile millenary corals that live in the dark depths of the ocean. But industrial fishing lobbies from France and Spain have launched a war on European institutions to defeat the will of citizens and scientists in order to protect their short-term interests. With a petition signed by over 835,000 people, the non-profit organization BLOOM, founded by Claire Nouvian, is at the forefront of a battle against absurd economic and ecological models of exploitation.

Aurally and Visually Enhanced Audio Search

Google Tech TalksOctober 1, 2008
ABSTRACT
To create enhanced user interfaces for retrieval and processing of audio and other media, we developed a range of techniques that leverage the human brain's enormous capabilities in visual and auditory perception and draw on computer graphics as well as automated acoustic content analysis and new applications of human-computer interface devices. Our aim is to put more fun into these tasks--for both casual and professional users--and to provoke serendipity.
We demonstrate--among other examples--how to quickly search through large collections of sound effects by listening to several ones simultaneously, with the user being immersed in a spatial field of sounds. We show how to find music files with the help of procedurally generated icons that rep...

2015 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: Water, Water

Join host and moderator Neil deGrasse Tyson and his panel of experts for a lively discussion about the past, present, and future of water on Earth.
Earth is the only place in our solar system with liquid water on its surface. Even though water makes up only 0.03 percent of the Earth’s total mass, it covers 70 percent of the planet’s surface. Where did this water come from? Why is it mostly in liquid form? How much of it is drinkable and how vulnerable is this valuable resource? Will we ever run out? Will wars of the future be fought over access to it? Will future generations harness water from space? Is water essential to all life in the universe—or just to life on Earth?

This series of three films produced by ALCOA to educate the public about the aluminum industry focuses on the production of aluminum. The films discus Bauxite mining, refining, smelting, and delivery. The various aspects of the production of aluminum are shown including Bauxite Refining (:09), Smelting of Aluminum (5:30), and Aluminum Fabricating Process (10:10).
The Bayer process shown is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–54% aluminium oxide, (alumina), Al2O3, the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. The aluminium oxide must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal.

Sverdrup Lecture: OS53F. Deep Margins Under Pressure - 2012AGUFall Meeting
Abstract:
http://abstractsearch.agu.org/meetings/2012/FM/OS53F-02.htmlThe ocean’s deep continental margins (200 - 3000 m) extend for over 150,000 km and cover 45 million square km. Once considered monotonous and of limited environmental value, we now recognize that they are highly heterogeneous and that the diverse habitats and organisms provide key ecological functions and ecosystem services. Driven by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, continental slopes are experiencing rapid changes in temperature, oxygen and pH. At the same time they are increasingly exploited for their fisheries, energy and mineral resources. This talk will highlight natural- and climate-change induced hypoxia, acidification and warming o...

Russia is expanding its use of undersea warfare as part of a broader strategy of coercion aimed at its neighbors and the United States. Suspected territorial incursions in the Baltic Sea and provocative patrols in the North Atlantic have not only caused alarm among NATO and partner nations, but have underscored the extent to which U.S. and European anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities have atrophied since the end of the Cold War.
Please join the International SecurityProgram for the launch of Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe, a new report that examines Russian intentions and capabilities, assesses the current ability of NATO and partner nations to meet the Russian challenge in the undersea domain, and provides some recommendations as to how NATO and partner nations can better address resurgent Russian undersea activity moving forward.

The contribution of the United NationsConvention on the Law of the Sea to good governance of the oceans and seas - The International Seabed Authority and the public, private and Humanity Interests
The conservation and management of the oceans and the seas require an adequate international legal framework. This framework began to be formulated within the III United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea during the seventies of the last century. It manifested itself in a large
international agreement, which has been opened for signature on the 10th of December 1982 -- the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea -- of which, nowadays, more than 160 States and the European Union are parts of.
In fact, the 10th of December 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of its signature. On that occasion, the IV Colloque ordinaire de l'AssociationInternationale du Droit de la Mer on "The Contribution of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to Good Governance of the
Oceans and Seas" will be held at the Faculty of Law, University of A Coruña.
The thirty years since the signature of this Convention allow us to examine its impact on the evolution of the maritime legal system, its adaptability to the transformations of maritime relations, and, to discuss the appropriateness or not for developing or reviewing this
Convention or some of its rules and institutions. Video available at: http://tv.campusdomar.es/en/video/1357.html

This series of three films produced by ALCOA to educate the public about the aluminum industry focuses on the production of aluminum. The films discus Bauxite mining, refining, smelting, and delivery. The various aspects of the production of aluminum are shown including Bauxite Refining (:09), Smelting of Aluminum (5:30), and Aluminum Fabricating Process (10:10).
The Bayer process shown is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–54% aluminium oxide, (alumina), Al2O3, the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. The aluminium oxide must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal.
AlcoaCorporation (from Aluminum Company of America) is an American industrial corporation. It is the world's fifth largest producer of aluminum, with corporate headquarters in New York City. From its operational base in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States, Alcoa conducts operations in 10 countries. Alcoa is a major producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina combined, through its active and growing participation in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling.
On November 1, 2016, Alcoa Inc. split into two new entities: Alcoa Corporation, which is engaged in the mining and manufacture of raw aluminum, and Arconic, which processes aluminum and other metals. In April 2017, Alcoa announced it will move its headquarters back to Pittsburgh effective September 1.
We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting? Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."

Sverdrup Lecture: OS53F. Deep Margins Under Pressure - 2012AGUFall Meeting
Abstract:
http://abstractsearch.agu.org/meetings/2012/FM/OS53F-02.htmlThe ocean’s deep continental margins (200 - 3000 m) extend for over 150,000 km and cover 45 million square km. Once considered monotonous and of limited environmental value, we now recognize that they are highly heterogeneous and that the diverse habitats and organisms provide key ecological functions and ecosystem services. Driven by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, continental slopes are experiencing rapid changes in temperature, oxygen and pH. At the same time they are increasingly exploited for their fisheries, energy and mineral resources. This talk will highlight natural- and climate-change induced hypoxia, acidification and warming on upwelling margins. Natural variations in space and time provide lessons about the evolutionary and ecological responses of animals, communities and ecosystems to individual and multiple stressors. We ask, to what extent do they foretell the future? The overprint of stress from climate change is likely to increase ecosystem vulnerability to human disturbance from oil and gas extraction, fishing and minerals mining, with threats to biodiversity and lowered resilience. These challenges demand a global commitment to improved stewardship of deep-ocean ecosystems and resources. Sustaining the integrity of the deep ocean will require integration of oceanography, biodiversity and conservation science, technology, informatics, economics, policy, law and communication, as well as engagement of stakeholders.

Are we about to hear that ancient ruins have been found in Antarctica? Is there an Alliance working to defeat the greatest threat humanity has ever faced on earth? Could the AntarcticAtlantis be part of a full or partial disclosure?
JoinDavid Wilcock on a thrill ride of discovery, beginning with Part One where he presents data on the SecretSpaceProgram and shares the stage with legendary insider Corey Goode. This is the best public summary David and Corey have done of this amazing story that has captivated the UFO community.
Part Two begins at the 53-minute mark, with David connecting the dots between intel from multiple insiders to arrive at a stunning conclusion -- that we are on the verge of major new releases of information that will transform everything we thought we knew about life on earth.
A civilization of "Pre-Adamite" giants with elongated skulls appears to have crash-landed on a continent we now call Antarctica some 55,000 years ago.
Various groups we collectively call the Alliance are working to defeat the Cabal / Illuminati / New World Order, thus making the headlines crazier by the day.
If the Alliance succeeds, their plan is now to begin the disclosure process by telling us there was a civilization in Antarctica. We are already seeing multiple, compelling hints of this in corporate media.
Find out what the insiders are telling us and help spread the word!
This is a two-and-a-half-hour excerpt from David's Friday and Saturday presentations at the ConsciousLifeExpo 2017. In their original form they run six hours. David also spoke for three hours on Monday, presenting an incredible new model of the Cosmos based on sacred geometry -- and proving that the Sun is going to release a DNA-transforming burst of energy in our near future.

BTV Reports on Mountain Province Diamonds and Up and Comers in the Mining Sector

Deep sea mining!? Leave my down below alone!

Mr Smashing makes a comeback with a deep sea mining disco love song.
Destroying the deep sea to get metals for our throw-away mobile phones and other e-devices? Seas At Risk thinks it is better to step up efforts on the circular economy – make devices repairable, re-usable, recyclable. Use mineral resources more efficiently and keep them in the economy loop instead of wasting them.
In our leaflet ‘Deep sea mining? Stop and think!’ you can read why we think deep sea mining has no place in the world’s Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. Let’s focus on creating a circular economy instead! http://www.seas-at-risk.org/images/pdf/Infographics/DSM-PDF-leaflet-light.pdf

Youngsolwarans against Deep Sea Mining

PNG's 13th Mining and Petroleum Conference commenced this week in Sydney, Australia.
This conference is aiming at not only showcasing existing opportunities for destructive investment, but also highlighting PNG’s status as the first country in the world to try the untested and potentially devastating industry of sea bed mining.
A group of young protesters called Youngsolwarans in protest had this to share...
Solwara Em Laif - Say NO to seabed mining.

Deep Ocean Mining Just Around The Corner

We're depleting many of our land-based stores of minerals, and remote though it is, the bottom of the ocean is a likelier source of precious minerals than asteroids. It is strewn with deposits rich in gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and other resources that supply our electronics, green technology, and other vital tools like medical imaging machines. Since no one has tried mining the seafloor yet, much remains uncertain about how it will work — or how much it will disturb the creatures that make their homes at the bottom of the ocean.

Conventional Naval mine hunting consists of two phases. MIne-LIke COntacts (MILCOs) are detected and localized, then sorted into two categories, non-mines and mines, before proceeding their disposal. Depending on this, decision is made as to whether or not clear the mines. Thus, the need for an efficient identification platform.
To break from conventional mine hunting practices, ECAGroup’s Unmanned MIne-countermeasures System UMIS, was successfully tested at sea, with its identification platform SeaScan which consists of a multi-shot identification ROV with sonar/optical sensors. UMIS system uses SEASCAN ROV for identification and the K-STER C mine disposal system for neutralization and can be used collaboratively with the embedded Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on its Autonomous underwater vehicles, to reduce the MCM Missions duration.
Seascan is a ROV dedicated to inspection missions. Its unique architecture ensures hovering capability and stability in turbulent water. Easy to deploy from any kind of platform, the user friendly command and control software offers auto piloting functions to improve mission efficiency. It is battery operated with 3h endurance, can operate up to 300m and in up to 3 knot currents without the limitations of traditional ROVs with an umbilical. The system features automated launch, recovery and recharging from an USV. Acting as a communication gateway with AUVs, The USV also, allows data to be ex-filtrated and relayed to a remote Command and ControlCenter at safe standoff range. This data is analyzed and the list of MILCOs is produced, which is then used to plan the SeaScan missions.

Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe

Russia is expanding its use of undersea warfare as part of a broader strategy of coercion aimed at its neighbors and the United States. Suspected territorial incursions in the Baltic Sea and provocative patrols in the North Atlantic have not only caused alarm among NATO and partner nations, but have underscored the extent to which U.S. and European anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities have atrophied since the end of the Cold War.
Please join the International SecurityProgram for the launch of Undersea Warfare in Northern Europe, a new report that examines Russian intentions and capabilities, assesses the current ability of NATO and partner nations to meet the Russian challenge in the undersea domain, and provides some recommendations as to how NATO and partner nations can better address resurgent Russian undersea activity moving forward. This event will include a presentation of the reports key findings and recommendations to be followed by a discussion of these issues with a panel of experts.

Nautilus Minerals CEO Mike Johnston Talks Underwater Mining

To be sure, Nautilus Minerals (TSX:NUS) is one of the more interesting mining companies out there. It's project, Solwara 1, lies on the sea floor near Papua New Guinea, where the company is hoping to mine high grade copper and gold deposits.
To find out a bit more about underwater mining, Resource Investing News had a chat with Mike Johnston, CEO of Nautilus, at the 2015PDAC conference in Toronto. In the interview below, Johnston discusses what makes Solwara 1 so high grade, and speaks to questions about the environmental impacts of underwater mining.
He also speaks about New Zealand's recent rejection of underwater mining projects, and about Nautilus's partnership with the Papua New Guinean government. Overall, it was interesting to get some insight into the world of underwater mining and how Nautilus intends for its project to work.

Seeking change, Charles applies a variety of concepts and lenses to inform on-ground action. He is confident that there must be a better way for extractive industries to honour the interrelatedness of people and place, and become temporary but valuable suppliers of means - serving and subservient to the common good.
Charles is the Executive Director of the Mineral Policy Institute, a civil society group focusing on the impacts of extractive industries. Charles’ interest and PhD research is centred on the seemingly inevitable conflict and sub-optimum outcomes that arise from industrial mining. He has a special focus on mining legacies in Australia, terrestrial mining in Papua New Guinea and deep sea mining in the Pacific.

Why we need to mobilize against deep-sea bottom trawling: Claire Nouvian at TEDxAUCollege

Europe is currently discussing the fate of the deep ocean in the North EastAtlantic. The European Commission has proposed to ban what scientists describe as the most destructive fishing gear in history, deep-sea bottom trawling, a heavily subsidized, fuel-intensive fishing method that destroys fragile millenary corals that live in the dark depths of the ocean. But industrial fishing lobbies from France and Spain have launched a war on European institutions to defeat the will of citizens and scientists in order to protect their short-term interests. With a petition signed by over 835,000 people, the non-profit organization BLOOM, founded by Claire Nouvian, is at the forefront of a battle against absurd economic and ecological models of exploitation.

Aurally and Visually Enhanced Audio Search

Google Tech TalksOctober 1, 2008
ABSTRACT
To create enhanced user interfaces for retrieval and processing of audio and other media, we developed a range of techniques that leverage the human brain's enormous capabilities in visual and auditory perception and draw on computer graphics as well as automated acoustic content analysis and new applications of human-computer interface devices. Our aim is to put more fun into these tasks--for both casual and professional users--and to provoke serendipity.
We demonstrate--among other examples--how to quickly search through large collections of sound effects by listening to several ones simultaneously, with the user being immersed in a spatial field of sounds. We show how to find music files with the help of procedurally generated icons that replace the standard file icons--a fleet-footed application of visual data mining for non-experts. Today, not only collections of media files can become overwhelming, but also collections of effect software can. To address this issue, we show how to represent a collection of audio plug-in effects as virtual folders through a FUSE system.

The International Seabed Authority and the public,(...)

The contribution of the United NationsConvention on the Law of the Sea to good governance of the oceans and seas - The International Seabed Authority and the public, private and Humanity Interests
The conservation and management of the oceans and the seas require an adequate international legal framework. This framework began to be formulated within the III United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea during the seventies of the last century. It manifested itself in a large
international agreement, which has been opened for signature on the 10th of December 1982 -- the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea -- of which, nowadays, more than 160 States and the European Union are parts of.
In fact, the 10th of December 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of its signature. On that occasion, the IV Colloque ordinaire de l'AssociationInternationale du Droit de la Mer on "The Contribution of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to Good Governance of the
Oceans and Seas" will be held at the Faculty of Law, University of A Coruña.
The thirty years since the signature of this Convention allow us to examine its impact on the evolution of the maritime legal system, its adaptability to the transformations of maritime relations, and, to discuss the appropriateness or not for developing or reviewing this
Convention or some of its rules and institutions. Video available at: http://tv.campusdomar.es/en/video/1357.html

This series of three films produced by ALCOA to educate the public about the aluminum industry focuses on the production of aluminum. The films discus Bauxite mining, refining, smelting, and delivery. The various aspects of the production of aluminum are shown including Bauxite Refining (:09), Smelting of Aluminum (5:30), and Aluminum Fabricating Process (10:10).
The Bayer process shown is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–54% aluminium oxide, (alumina), Al2O3, the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. The aluminium oxide must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal.
AlcoaCorporation (from Aluminum Company of America) is an American industrial corporation. It is the world's fifth largest producer of aluminum, with corporate headquarters in New York City. From its operational base in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States, Alcoa conducts operations in 10 countries. Alcoa is a major producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina combined, through its active and growing participation in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling.
On November 1, 2016, Alcoa Inc. split into two new entities: Alcoa Corporation, which is engaged in the mining and manufacture of raw aluminum, and Arconic, which processes aluminum and other metals. In April 2017, Alcoa announced it will move its headquarters back to Pittsburgh effective September 1.

Sverdrup Lecture: OS53F. Deep Margins Under Pressure - 2012AGUFall Meeting
Abstract:
http://abstractsearch.agu.org/meetings/2012/FM/OS53F-02.htmlThe ocean’s deep continental margins (200 - 3000 m) extend for over 150,000 km and cover 45 million square km. Once considered monotonous and of limited environmental value, we now recognize that they are highly heterogeneous and that the diverse habitats and organisms provide key ecological functions and ecosystem services. Driven by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, continental slopes are experiencing rapid changes in temperature, oxygen and pH. At the same time they are increasingly exploited for their fisheries, energy and mineral resources. This talk will highlight natural- and climate-change induced hypoxia, acidification and warming on upwelling margins. Natural variations in space and time provide lessons about the evolutionary and ecological responses of animals, communities and ecosystems to individual and multiple stressors. We ask, to what extent do they foretell the future? The overprint of stress from climate change is likely to increase ecosystem vulnerability to human disturbance from oil and gas extraction, fishing and minerals mining, with threats to biodiversity and lowered resilience. These challenges demand a global commitment to improved stewardship of deep-ocean ecosystems and resources. Sustaining the integrity of the deep ocean will require integration of oceanography, biodiversity and conservation science, technology, informatics, economics, policy, law and communication, as well as engagement of stakeholders.
